I just got retuned (click here for thread) and am ready to go to Cal Speedway on Saturday. How should I adjust my coilovers: super stiff up front and full soft on the rear? Shouldn't this help reduce wheel hop in the front and allow the back end to squat? I'm really guessing here so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Second: When leaving the line, how slowly do you disengage the Exedy Triple carbon clutch?

Third: I have my launch control set at 6000 and with this setting, I am able to build about 8 to 9 psi. Does this sound like the right RPM?

Finally, I have the rev limit set at 8100rpms, so regardless of how good the car runs, I will be limited to about 130mph. (I sincerely hope to reach that mph, but who knows ) Any comments on this?

 

Good numbers!
On the 2.3L you can run it up to 8400-8500rpm for limited drag runs. We run our 2.3L road race car at 7850rpm all the time and she's doing good so far.
Launching the car is all practice and finesse, it must take getting used to, especially on a high horsepower car. As far as the suspension settings go it would seem you'd want to rear to squat under power and stay down, not bounce back quickly. Do you have two way adjustables or one way? If two way, I'd crank up rebound and lower compression in the rear.
Hope this helps!

 

The squat rates on the evo our laughable at best. The amount of weight that is transfered from the front to the rear of the car is very minimal when traveling in a straight line. (There is a way to fix this, that we are doing on the drift car)

I would try your normal settings, and then 2 clicks stiffer, and 2 clicks softer, and all of the permutations of that. See which one gives you the best results.

 

Got some results. On my second run I blew off my AMS LICP (my fault - crappy clamps) and literally ran it over. If anyone over at AMS feels like helpin' out, I really need a replacement for good price...

Anyway, ran an 11.1 on my first run. Details here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=211907
